Shrinky Super Sailor Moon

The original plan was to make a shrinkie something with My Little Pony... but due to the limited colours of my current Derwent artists coloured pencils set, i went back to a Sailor Moon image again.

As cute as the Sailor Moon pictures are, they are a bit more fiddly to draw and colour compared to the simple lines of Ponies.
I'll just have to get some more pencils first!

Sailor Moon Super S!

This side is what i call the glossy side.

This is the coloured/marked side.
Maybe its the colours used in this picture, but she does look a lot more "waxy" than Sailor V.

This is the idea for the 3 holes punched into the shrinkie.
What do you call these? Hand chain? The craft chain i use is too thick and bold and overpowers the whole thing. I will need to swap these out when i get some thinner, dainty chain.

Continued playing with shrinkies..

The advantage of using markers on shrink plastic is clean lines and even coverage... however it all comes unstuck when you need to get white on the frosty clear sheet of plastic. There just isn't any white ink marker.. sure you can get white paint marker but it probably won't shrink well.

This where colour pencils are required.
Based on the limited colour set i have, Sailor moon characters would work great - most vibrant solid colours. Getting even coverage with wax based pencils is alot harder than markers.

How freaking cute are the Sailor moon images on Sailor moon drops game.
Sailor V has to be the most adorbs.

Here she is! 😁😄😁💖

By now, i'm also guessing that the "marked" side is the "right side up" (on the thinking that if you drew on opaque coloured shrinkie, the drawn side could only be the top side) but with the clear shrinkie, i prefer the drawn side as the "underside" and the thick clear side as the top for a glossy finish.

 

This is the drawn side which is the underside for me. You can see the texture of the coloured pencils is rougher than the drawn side of Stitch which was drawn with markers. Markers also keep the translucency of the shrinkie sheet whereas pencils give an opaque finish.

She turned out really well 😄(even though coverage is not 100% - shortcoming of using pencils).

Now to decide what to do with her...
